Appreciate that you don’t just say WHAT to do, but WHY you do it. Thanks for great content!

[katherinespencer]

me, I'd push bamboo poles from the $ store into those sections that are around the perimeter to make them more stiff, stable, a bit more weighted. i'd keep that balled up extra too, but tucked inside a reusable grocery bag tied snug to keep things from going in to live in the lovely soft fabric.

I love your programs. You always cover just what I need to know with just enough background information (without a bunch of time-wasting chit chat) so that I understand the “why” as well as the “how” and can adapt the project for my own needs. Thanks you for the complete materials list and calling things by their correct names and including cost estimates. Yours is one of the most helpful channels I have seen. Thank you and God bless you for sharing.

Paint the pvc pipes with some oops paint you can get anywhere or some sample paints. They will last so much longer. Since they are not in the bed there will be no leeching . Love the ideas and tips you share. Keep them coming.

I always did something i was a little not ready to do. I think that's how you grow. When there's that moment of, 'wow, I'm not really sure I can do this, ' and you push through those moments, that's When you have a breakthrough.

You are AMAZING!!! I appreciate your attention to detail ( put the snipped end of the zip tie down so it doesn't snag the cover). This would have been a learning curve, ie mistake, for me. I am a single female so the ability to handle this cover myself is VERY valuable.

Cool!👍This project is a game changer!😃 I had my hubby make a giant cube hoop house out of PVC last fall. I grow most of our food in containers. I can fit 2 large pots with zucchini plants inside or three 18 gallon totes. We used sand inside the corners pipes to weight it down and I made a door in the mesh cover on one side by draping tulle from top to bottom. I use clips to close it. The cube has served us well! It's easy to pick up and move. Right now it's covering 2 acorn squash plants planted in the ground...until vine borer season is over.🙂
Hi to handsome Dale! He is cute drinking out of the hose.🙂
Nice looking strawberry patch, corn, tomatoes, and asparagus I saw growing!👍

[amyk]

Perfect timing 👍🏼 I sat down today planning out my winter seed starting and thinking 🤔 how am I gonna protect all my lettuce and brassicas from frost? Thank you!

[JeannetteShoreland]

What an innovative design! I absolutely agree about your stated deficiencies in stationary hoop structures. I have also been experimenting with raised bed hoop designs, which are very similar to yours. Since I sew, I have made a flat shade cloth top on a square PVC frame with net sides. Everything is easily clamped to the frame with those nifty PVC snap clamps. Also noticed that very versatile Japanese hand saw. I bought one after you first reviewed it; it is my favorite hand saw.

[zmaryellen]

I love this hoop house- so easy I can make it. You might want to remind squash gardeners that they'll need to leave it open so pollinators can get in, or they'll get no squash!

[kaceeboxers]

I was in Lowes last week looking at PVC pipes, etc, to build a hoop house. I left the store empty handed as I couldn’t come up with viable solution (older female here) to keep the shape of the hoops without using something like rebar pounded into the ground.
This system is fabulous and something I can build myself.
Central Florida here and some years we don’t even have to use frost cloth, but last year, they were used quite a bit. Nice to have options for covers as the seasons change.

A little bit of Dale should be a requirement for every video!! Thank you for showing him to us!!

Big hint from sunny Arizona. I had several 1/2" PVC modular units covered with 3/8" bird netting covering a garden that lasted for 8 years before I replaced it. Paint the PVC BEFORE building the frame. Naked, white PVC exposed to UV rays will decay and break down within a couple of years out here. Paint em and they last for years.

I took everyones advice and built my first garden hoop house! Thanks!

[scottwho]

Great idea. My beds are different sizes so I made row covers out of 17" garden stakes, sold to make tomato cages, and 1/2 inch drip irrigation tubing. Drive the stakes in the ground, cut tubing to length, bend and put over stakes. Works great for bird netting too. Not modular but I made 20 hoops for under $40. Use stainless steel clamps sold on Amazon to hold in place.

[THAdams]

WOW! I wish I had come across your video before the sun burned the leaves of my green beans. I will most definitely use this design to create cover for future!

[kimberlycooper]

Upon constructing a modular greenhouse using this guidance, I must make a couple notes to future builders: You also actually need 8 pieces of PVC - the additional piece is for the center support for the hoops (this piece is not accounted for in the parts list). Also, if you don't need to extend the long sides as depicted in this video, DON'T (especially if you are using brand-new PVC pipes) because the tension of the center hoop makes the long edges bow at the Tee fitting and the center hoop sits lower than the end hoops, resulting in the overall frame not being true. In this video, pre-used PVC is employed in the build, so it already bows as needed and doesn't interfere with the ends. I'm going back to get 3 more PVC pipes for the center support as well as to redo the long ends, and I'm going to get another couple 3/4"x3/4"x1/2" Tee fittings for the center hoop to make it more stable. But overall, great idea.

[lindapertusati]

This video is a great resource. Easy to do and so effective. Thank you for sharing your build of the Modular Greenhouse.

[lisabowman]

Brilliant!! I'll have to make one to see how it works for my garden 🤓
